Surprise Break

Well hello there......


Some of you may remember from This post that we were off for a little surprise break for a few days.......


We woke up to this on the day of departure ...........................

Yip...... SNOW!!!!  and lots of it!!!!!

So we packed the 4x4 rather than the comfy car, and set about trying to get out of our village!!!  This was not to happen....... after two and a half hours of trying every exit route from our village, we came home for a cup of coffee and to plan a strategy on getting out, as we had paid to be other places and were not about to disappoint Bean and Peanut!!    

At 3pm, we realized that the snow had melted...... but ever so slightly, so we thought we'd chance it.......... we jumped in the 4x4, and headed out.

We were fortunate that a tractor plough happened to be going the route we wanted to take, so we followed him until he pulled off the road, due to the rest of the road ahead being snow free, and continued on our merry way.

Half an hours drive from our village we were greeted by this sight...........

Not a drop of SNOW in sight!!!  It did not seem possible...... and when we almost got to our destination, this was the sight that greeted us.........

 

SUN!!!! and lots of it!!

We were so happy that we had taken the chance and the girls were very excited that we could at least enjoy our short break, which I sadly feel is a distant memory already........but more on that soon!

Oh, and in case you were wondering where we ended up......... 

Pwllheli in Wales :-).

it was awesome!
